A pick, a mid-roster player or project prospect, and a throw in, perhaps Feaster might get... but guys like Saad or Teravainen from my 'Hawks, for instance? That would get Bowman lynched. The feeling among 'Hawk fans is that they are grooming TT for when Kane's contract expires...Many expect Kane to be moved at the end of his current contract. The mention of Dylan Olson is more realistic, only because the 'Hawks feel that they have other 2nd or 3rd pair D-prospects. In an earlier post, I also mentioned guys with expiring contracts that might be had...And If I were looking for guys that might be had with some up side, Stalberg would be the guy on the 'Hawks I'd enquire about...or if you are willing to gamble, Frolik, who had been a 20 goal rook, but is buried on the 4th line in Chi.
Bottom line for Flame fans...Every day that passes, the potential return for Iginla suffers.

You've never dealt with a competitive bidding situation in your life have you.
As we get closer to the deadline and the pressures increase on multiple teams trying to make a deal the return is more likely to increase.
